Dear Madam:
I advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 42716, it appears that John Exline (the name does not appear as Axline) enlisted in Hampshire County, Virginia about April 1, 1781, served in Captains Thomas Worman's and Beverly Ray's Companies, Colonels Gist's and Posey's Virginia Regiments, was in the Siege of Yorktown and was discharged about October, 1782. His rank is not stated.
He was allowed pension as a private on his application executed September 30, 1825 at which time he was a resident of Jackson County, Ohio and aged sixty-six years. The date of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown. He stated that he was by occupation a farmer.
At the time of making his application he stated that his family consisted of his wife and one child, but did not give their names, and referred to his sons Isaac and John. There are no further family data.
The above noted is the only soldier surnamed Exline or Axline that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau. The War of 1812 records fail to show that pension was ever claimed on account of the services of David, Jacob, George, John or Henry Exline or Axline.
Your letter requesting information relative to a soldier

of the Civil War has been referred to the proper division of this bureau for reply.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner

To the Secretary of War
Sir I again enclose to you the
Petition of John Escline, with the alterations required by the form, transmitted to me from the War Department. I would merely observe that the declaration of Escline is supported by the testimony of three of the most respectable men in Jackson - two of them have been (as I am informed) mem- bers of the General Assembly of this state; & Col. Roff one of them is our present Member of that Body; and all of them are well acquainted with the applicant John Escline; the In case of doubt as to the standing of these men, reference may be had to the Representation in Congress from that district the Hon. Sam l F. Vinton. Any proceedings which may be had on this application, if transmitted to me, will be forwarded to the residence of Mr. Escline
Yours most respectfully Joseph Hill
